more planting

Last night I bought four bags of composted cow manure and four bags of peat hummus and one big bag of peat moss.

I added one bag of each and some peat moss to the box garden closest to the driveway and mixed it all in.

The peas that didn't get planted on Saturday were mostly sprouted in the container in the garage so I planted four rows of seeds that had little roots coming out of them. Most were less than 1cm.

I dumped the 20 or so that weren't sprouted in one of the rows. Don't know if they will do anything.

Put one bag of each where the pine tree died and tried chickpeas last year. Did a lot of digging and pull out a gallon of rocks!

Planted some carrots and spinach there.

Where I threw some radish seeds down on the frozen ground on 15th of Feb, there are sprouts.

Tried to get to the bottom of the compost pile today. Not much composted. Still a big layer of grass that didn't do anything. Rebuilt it and tried to break up the layer. Added a few gallons of water and used the pitch fork to drill in lots of holes.

Need to put some dirt on the top I think to get something going from the top. More water tomorrow too.
